If you want to sit in a sweltering car for hours while constantly feeling like you're trying to circumnavigate a parade or a marathon, only to realize that it's just 3pm traffic on Wilshire Blvd, then YES, WEST LA IS FOR YOU.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e195b0ecad046b791b31f0thebodygdThu, 23 Jan 2014 17:20:32 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e195b0ecad046b791b31f0

And even if you do find a place in Santa Monica, unless you plan to never leave there, you will face hours of traffic to get anywhere else. Santa Monica is at the nexus of the 10 and 405 freeways; two of the most trafficked routes in the world. Most days there is no rush hour; there is a non-rush hour at about 2-3am.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e1750e6bb3f70f3f40e237SoCalManThu, 23 Jan 2014 15:01:18 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e1750e6bb3f70f3f40e237
Very nice.
This should come with a big disclaimer. Santa Monica is in a very expensive and very congested part of Los Angeles. If you do not rent or can not buy an apartment/condo/home within a 2-3 miles of this startups' office you will face hours of soul-crushing, grinding, life-shortening traffic each day unless you leave home at 5am and come home around 10pm.
Other than that, yeah, its great.
